Novel R2R3-MYB transcription factor CsMYB39 influences epigallocatechin gallate biosynthesis in tea plant (Camellia sinensis) by regulating CsSCPL11-IA gene expression

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most bioactive galloylated catechin in tea ( Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) plants. Its biosynthesis is precisely regulated by transcription factors. In this study, we used the promoter of the CsSCPL11-IA gene, which encodes a key enzym...
